Deep Impact: Optical Spectroscopy and Photometry Obtained at MIRA
Russell G. Walker, Wm. Bruce Weaver, W. W. Shane +1
We present spectroscopic and high-precision photometric observations, spanning the optical UV to the far red, before, during, and after the NASA Deep Impact event of July 4, 2005.…
The NEOWISE-Discovered Comet Population and the CO+CO2 production rates
James M. Bauer, Rachel Stevenson, Emily Kramer +19
The 163 comets observed during the WISE/NEOWISE prime mission represent the largest infrared survey to date of comets, providing constraints on dust, nucleus sizes, and CO+CO2 prod…
Centaurs and Scattered Disk Objects in the Thermal Infrared: Analysis of WISE/NEOWISE Observations
James M. Bauer, Tommy Grav, Erin Blauvelt +22
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) observed 52 Centaurs and Scattered Disk Objects in the thermal infrared, including the 15 discoveries that were new. We present analy…
Physical Parameters of Asteroids Estimated from the WISE 3 Band Data and NEOWISE Post-Cryogenic Survey
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Masiero +7
Enhancements to the science data processing pipeline of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Explorer (WISE) mission, collectively known as NEOWISE, resulted in the detection of 158,000 m…
WISE/NEOWISE Preliminary Analysis and Highlights of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Near Nucleus Environs
James M. Bauer, Emily Kramer, A. K. Mainzer +15
On January 18-19 and June 28-29 of 2010, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft imaged the Rosetta mission target, comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. We present a…
Characterizing Subpopulations within the Near Earth Objects with NEOWISE: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Masiero +10
We present the preliminary results of an analysis of the sub-populations within the near-Earth asteroids, including the Atens, Apollos, Amors, and those that are considered potenti…
WISE/NEOWISE observations of Active Bodies in the Main Belt
James M. Bauer, A. K. Mainzer, Tommy Grav +22
We report results based on mid-infrared photometry of 5 active main belt objects (AMBOs) detected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft. Four of these bodies…
NEOWISE Studies of Asteroids with Sloan Photometry: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, J. Masiero, T. Grav +11
We have combined the NEOWISE and Sloan Digital Sky Survey data to study the albedos of 24,353 asteroids with candidate taxonomic classifications derived using Sloan photometry. We…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Hilda Population: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +14
We present the preliminary analysis of 1023 known asteroids in the Hilda region of the Solar System observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WI…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Jovian Trojans: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +13
We present the preliminary analysis of over 1739 known and 349 candidate Jovian Trojans observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). With th…
NEOWISE Observations of Near-Earth Objects: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Bauer +34
With the NEOWISE portion of the \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO) population at…
Main Belt Asteroids with WISE/NEOWISE I: Preliminary Albedos and Diameters
Joseph R. Masiero, A. K. Mainzer, T. Grav +15
We present initial results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a four-band all-sky thermal infrared survey that produces data well suited to measuring the physical…
